Forest Blockade Action Tongass
Greenpeace activists and local residents stop road building and timber operations in the Tongass National Forest in an area of the rainforest where clear-cutting is taking place. They display a banner reading "Ancient Forest Protection Starts Here" and they suspend a specially engineered structure high over logging roads in pristine forest that is slated to be cut. Other volunteers place themselves in the path of trucks and bulldozers, while a group of Alaskans lock themselves to road building equipment. Greenpeace has set up these stations as part of its escalating campaign for a moratorium on industrial logging on public lands and for greater protection and restoration of endangered forests.
